Technological advances in high-throughput techniques and efficient data gathering methods coupled with a world wide effort in computational biology have resulted in a vast amount of life science data often available in distributed and heterogeneous repositories. These repositories contain interesting information such as sequence and structure data, annotations for biological data, results of complex and expensive computations, bio-medical publications, and so on. Newer and more sophisticated computational techniques to analyze such data are also being developed and made available for public use at a rapid pace. Nonetheless, the multiplicity in the objectives, methods, representation, and platforms of these data sources and analysis tools have created an urgent and immediate need for research in resource integration and platform independent processing of investigative queries involving heterogeneous data sources and analysis tools. It is now universally recognized that a database approach to analysis and management of biological data offers a convenient, high level, and efficient alternative to high volume biological data processing and management. Advances in database integration, query processing, web technology, work flow systems, and object-orientation can be leveraged to develop novel high-performance data management systems for biological applications. But also security is very important in this area and therefore this workshop has these two focuses.

Topics of interest lie at the intersection of general bioinformatics and security research. Following is a nonexclusive list of topics of interest for this year.

* Security for grid computing in the field of bioinformatics

* Information security development processes for sensitive (medical) data

* Securing medical data (Information, Data and System Integrity)

* Digital Rights Management for medical stored data

* Complex relational database management system, with object-oriented extensions and numerous application driven enhancements

* Web and Wireless Security Bioinformatics and Medical Diagnosis

* Usability and security needs of complex systems

* Innovative approaches for securing medical data

(access management, authentication, data protection, etc.)

* Information Security Management
